With that, Monahan scored the most markers of any Flames' rookie since Jarome Iginla also found the back of the net 21 times in 1996-97. Given what Iginla went on to accomplish in Calgary, reaching that mark means a lot to them. "It's pretty cool. Obviously, (Iginla) was a big part of this team and this franchise," Monahan said. "To be there, it's pretty special. It's an honor." It'd be wrong to compare him to Iginla at this stage of his career, but he does have potential.

"I want Sean Monahan to be the most complete hockey player in the NHL, the most complete centerman in this league, to learn the game in the three zones. There's going to be times that we're going to put him in those situations so he learns from them." Monahan has 11 goals and 17 points this season.

I thought he survived out there." Monahan has nine goals and 15 points in 25 games this season. He is worth owning in all keeper and deep pools.

Roger Millions reported that Monahan was still wearing a walking boot this morning, but he's slated to suit up for the first time since Nov. 27. He resumed skating earlier this week.

"We have concluded that in light of the prominent role Sean has played on our team to date, and the role we project he will continue to play once he returns from his injury, that Sean will remain with our hockey club." Before Monahan suffered his current injury, he was getting a solid amount of ice time and had rewarded the Flames with 15 points in 24 games. Playing in the tournament would have allowed Monahan to serve as a leader on a team with high expectations, but it's certainly not surprising that Calgary wants him to stay in the NHL.

"From our very first interaction with him, Sean has demonstrated a seriousness of purpose and a steadfast resolve to be the very best player he can be, and his character and work ethic have continued to shine through in his preparation this summer," said Flames GM Jay Feaster. "Not only is Sean a very good hockey player, but he is a great person as well. He had a solid showing at our recent Development Camp, and as we shared with him afterward, we look forward to watching him play at our Rookie Tournament in Penticton and then attempt to compete for a spot at Main Camp in Calgary."

When you look at it, the entry-level deals are typically not that difficult to get done, so we'll get about that." Monahan was taken with the sixth overall pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft and hopes to make Calgary's opening game roster.

"I think I am NHL ready. Obviously, this summer is going to help that," he said. "I've been working really hard since my summer ended. It ended March 17 so I've had a long time. I'm going to continue working hard." Calgary's need for a center and the fact that the team is facing a rebuild could increase his chances of sticking with the big club after training camp.
